If you have a legitimate conflict with these exams
dates and times, please contact your instructor as soon as possible.
Please do not wait until shortly before the exam.

Note.
Exams will not be given early to accommodate travel plans.

Homework Policy

Homework sets will be assigned for each class but are to be handed in
weekly. Assignments for a given week are
usually to be submitted in class next
Wednesday. There will be appropriate adjustments for holidays. You
can check the exact due dates on the Homework
Assignments web page.

In addition to written assignments, you are encouraged to solve all appropriate Practice Problems
that are listed at the end of each Section from the book. Please do not hand in solutions to these problems. Their
sole purpose is to help you judge your performance in class. Although these
practice problems will not be graded, they can be a good indicator of how you
cope with the course material. If you don't have even a slightest idea how to
approach one or several Practice Problems, you may be in a deep trouble and are
strongly advised to contact your instructor
as soon as possible.

Late homeworks will not be accepted.
Unexcused late and missing papers count
zero.

The homework scores not only count count towards your
final grade and allow you to practice and refine your skills
but, historically, those students who do the homework sets
regularly fair better on the exams.

Grades

The course grade will be based upon the scores on the two midterm exams,
the final exam, and the homework.

Midterm 1

Midterm 2

Final Exam

The Honor Principle

On Exams: No help given or received.

On Homework: Collaboration is permitted and encouraged, but NO COPYING. Discussions of
the general ideas of the class with instructors, tutors, fellow students and
others are desirable. However, each student is expected to complete his or
her assignments individually and independently.

Disabilities

Students with disabilities who will be taking this course and may need
disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to
make an appointment
to see their instructor as soon as possible. Also, they should stop by the
Academic Skills
Center
in Collis Center to register for support services.
